THE FRICK COLLECTION announced the largest and most significant gift of drawings and pastels in its history , thanks  to the generosity of Elizabeth "Betty" and Jean-Marie Eveillard. 

OVER THE PAST forty-five years, the Eveillards assembled an outstanding collection of European works on paper, ranging from the twentieth century and representing artists working in France, Britain  Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. They have made a promised gift to the Frick of twenty-six of these works--eighteen drawings, five pastels, two prints and one oil sketch--among them some of their finest acquisitions. 

 Betty and Jean-Marie Eveillard have been deeply involved with the Frick for many years, both having served as Trustees. Betty is currently the Board's Chair. 

In the fall of 2022, at its temporary Frick Madison location, the museum will present an exhibition of these extraordinary works, to be accompanied by a catalogue and public programs. WEBSITE: Frick.org
